Figure 3

(a) Example of reduced low flow channels on RR2 near Dovalovo settlement in 2015 with natural braidplain before management intervention and (b) in 2018 after intervention with an artificially created lateral bar on both banks of the Belá River generated in ArcMap 10.3 software. (c) Comparison of area of studied morphological parameters in total for all studied 11 river reaches in the natural (2015) and artificial river active zones after river training (2018). (d) Differences in the length of low flow channels between 2015 and 2018 in all studied river reaches (RR1–11). For legend of studied channel landforms for (a), see Fig. 1C. (e) Holiday cottage at real flood risk (marked by a red arrow) in the seasonally settled “Cottage area 2” (Fig. 1) on the Belá River floodplain. This risky position of the cottage probably requires management intervention in RR9. Background ortophoto image is from 2018 and was generated in ArcMap 10.3 software.
